Ideal Cinema

In Rua do Loreto, near Largo do Camões, in the confluence zone of Baixa / Chiado with Bairro Alto and Bica, there is still a cinema today, the oldest cinema in Lisbon. Open since 1904, he has known over the years various designations – Ideal Hall, Ideal Cinema, Cine Camões and Cine Paraíso. It is a cinema whose last great remodeling took place in the 50’s, but it still retains all the charm of a “neighborhood cinema”, with its foyer, balcony and audience. This cinema will now go through a deep work of renovation and recovery, architecture and equipment of projection of image and sound. It is a work that will give rise to a new cinema and a new space of cultural and urban animation.
